hey guys i am bout to buy my first new car soon. and i am having a decison between GTo and 300c they both are basically at the same price only GTO is more Race then Luxury, and i just wanna get some personal opions and hear about the pros and cons of this car. one thing i dont like is how it only comes in auto.

soem aftermarket parts i have in mind include

new mesh grill
window tint
12inch sub in the back (2)
22's spinners.
vertical door



any suggestions or tips are welcome


thanks.

 

Judging from your aftermarket parts you want, the 300C is your best bet. It's known to have a great 'personality' with bling on it. I'm just a car fan, not really Chrysler biased.

Power
GTO: 6L
300C: 5.7L

Warranty
About the same

Crash Ratings
GTO: Not tested
300C: Driver...excellent. Passanger...excellent. Rollover...good. Side Impact...good

Exterior Color Choices
GTO: 7
300C: 9

Wheels

GTO: alloy
300C: Chrome alloy

Chrome Grille
GTO: Na
300C: Standard

Seating
GTO: 4
300C: 5

Those are some of the options. Edmunds.com, the place where I compared them, showed the 300C beyond favorable compared to the GTO...

well, ok thanks for the big help. since they both cost about the same i guess i can go with the 300c

 

If you want satellite radio I believe it is not available as an option on the GTO.

 

I don't know if you already got the car. But with those mods you have in mind, you definately want a 300C...

 

no i didnt get it yet, but why should i go with the C with all those mods? isnt the 300 basically the same except for the horsepower, and soem other detail features

 

you need to compare the srt-8 to the gto.i too was thinkin of the gto.but it was so damn plain,no options..it looks like a honda accord on steriods.so i got the 300c srt-8

 

300 all the way. but please leave off the spinners. just my opinion.

The 300C is known for the mods that you've posted, but it just comes down to opinion. If you're willing to spend money on mods and stuff, I think 7 grand more for the SRT-8 might be worth it.
